This 0-0 is fine, the teams played and created: that's okay. When you can't win, the important thing is to bring home some points. I think the team is in good shape, I still have several players to recover and 90 points. In the meantime, let's win these play-offs, there are several teams and we need to do well. Then let's see if these 90 pieces will be ready».

We have to see how he is, but Prelec had a great match: he worked hard, he was in the heart of the opposing defence. Even Di Pardo hadn't played for four months, I'm happy with the team that played well and is having a good championship final. Radunovic? Since I've been here, he's made excellent saves, let's hope we haven't bothered him..." From his part, there is also an opinion on what the playoff and promotion fee will be: "I had thought, when I arrived, that the team that went up would get from sixty-seven to sixty-nine points. Over sixty the playoffs are safe ».
